Ok.This is my interpretation, hate it, love it,not my decision. Sorry for any spelling errors I've lost the plot again(he's lost the meaning of his existance/his porpose/what hes going to do in life, you get the gist) Tell your friends to sharpen their teeth(his "friends" are vicious/savages, as in they would sell his secrets to the press if given the chance) There's a few quid to be made(i see this as he's taking bets with himself to see how long till those "friends" sell his secrets/abandon him) And my soul's a sorry state(he sees his soul as torn or broken) So come on down, you empty lovers.(he believes his lover doesn't care for him anymore or is unfaithful) Wolves come out of the woodwork(a secret that could potentially kill him, metaphorically or physically) And the snakes start to sing(His "friends" finally give up his secrets). Do you feel the chill, Clawing at the back of your neck?(he's been cold/distant toward his lover and he doesn't think they notice) And start to spill, Did you really think that you could fix me?(his lover, after seeing his secrets have been sold, tries to make him feel better, possibly to keep up appearences or to make him think that the lover in question is still faithful) They'll sell your bones for another roll.(he's sortof warning is lover that if they tell their secrets to the "friends" that they will sell them out for money or other things) Well sharpen your teeth.(he's telling the lover something along the lines of "hey, go join them. Spill all my secrets.If you wont be mine and mine alone, leave.") Tell yourself that it's just business.(the lover believes that the reason he's acting this way is because of his career) Wolves come out of the woodwork.(same) Leeches come from out of the dirt.(same) Rats come out of the holes they call home,(the "friends" come out of the shadows and try to make him believe that it wasn't them that sold his secrets) And I fall apart.(at this point he has broken down and possibly self harmed/attempted suicide) And the snakes start to sing.(same) Don't say I'm better off dead,(him and the lover are arguing at this point and they have said that he's better off dead) Cause heaven's full and hell won't have me.(he believes that he isn't good enough for heaven and hell doesn't want him) Won't you make some room in your bed?(he wants the lover to quit seeing this other person and for them to make room in their life for him) Well you could lock me up in your heart, And throw away the key.(he only wants to be theirs, and no one elses,and wants for him to be the only one in the lovers heart) Won't you take me out of my head?(he wants them to make him forget about his problems) I'm just a would've been, could've been, Should've been, never was and never ever will be.(he and this lover are broken up and he believes that its his fault and that he wasnt good enough for his lover) Well sharpen your teeth.(same) Tell yourself that it's just business.(his lover is trying to make themself believe that the only reason he's so stressed and angry is because his career) Would've been, could've been, Should've been, never was, and never ever will be. Wolves come out of the woodwork, And the snakes start to sing. Wolves come out of the woodwork. Leeches crawl from out of the dirt. Rats come out of the holes they call home, And I fall apart. And the snakes start to sing. If you can't soar with the eagles Then don't fly with the flock.(he's saying that if his lover cant be faithful, then don't pretend that they are) Are you still getting high?(the lover has an addiction) Did you catch your own reflection, In the knife my mother held? Or the hell in my father's eyes?(he's talking about how his mother had an addiction similar to tat of his lovers and that on day his mother pulled a knife on his father, who could possibly be drunk, who possibly abused him and his mother, that being the reason she turned to drugs) If you can't soar with the eagles Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting by? Was I your knight in shining armor? The apple of your eye? Or just a step to climb?(hes asking if he was just toy to his lover or something more) If you can't soar with the eagles Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting high? Did you catch your own reflection In the knife my mother held? Or the hell in my father's eyes? If you can't soar with the eagles, Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting by? Was I your knight in shining armor? Or the apple of your eye? Or just a step, a fucking step to climb |
